I had the camera on a tripod and the video camera balanced on top of it.I plan to use an old Stroboframe to mount the video camera over the still camera so I can do both simultaneously (with slight parallax).You'll hear the mirror moving on the raw video, but you'll know when to be quiet to get the good sound. During those clips, export the sound, crop the clip and string them together.
